Excerpt:

The bunkers at Royal St George’s are different this year, with a new type of sand having been installed for The Open. The new sand is designed to be more challenging for players, and will require them to use different techniques to get out of the bunkers.

The rough around the bunkers has also been allowed to grow longer, which will make it more difficult for players to extricate their balls. This change will put a premium on accuracy off the tee and on approach shots.

The changes to the bunkers are part of a wider effort by the R&A to make The Open a more challenging test for the world’s best players. The R&A believes that the new bunkers will make the course fairer and more strategic.

The changes to the bunkers and the rough are sure to have a major impact on the outcome of The Open. Players will need to adjust their strategies accordingly if they want to lift the Claret Jug.
